Kuemper also has a .333 high-danger unblocked shot attempt save percentage. On the other hand, Skinner’s is .600. Aside from being better than Kuemper in this statistic, Skinner also has a better high-danger unblocked shot attempt save percentage than Connor Hellebuyck, Anthony Stolarz, and Jake Oettinger.

The Edmonton Oilers have been hot garbage in front of him and that’s why he’s given up 11 goals in two games and that’s why the team is down 2-0 in its first (and perhaps last) round series with the Los Angeles Kings.

Skinner was excellent for a two-month stretch from the end of November to the end of January, during which he was one of the best netminders in the NHL. That, combined with helping the Oilers to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last year, gives him tons of clout. Don’t forget how good he was from Game 4 onward in each series.
